Many wonder why the brute creation *
eel mankind as a rule when it comes to q
question OF health. Investigation quickly
kscertains the cause. IL is because the
brute naturally obeys every law OF health,
while mankind is constantly degenerating
owing to excuses OF our ancestors and our
individual imprndence. Sudden exposure
% extreme climatic influences, gluttony,
improper food, alcoholic stimulants, over
sxertion Of mind and body, worriment,
anxiety, care, etc, all have a marked effect
on the human system. Be cured by using

proof until within the past two or three
DAYS. Mr.. Knappplaced the matter in the
hands 0! Edgar NJ. Bennett, OF the firm Of
Bennett & Eldridge, Big Stone City, who en-
raged Detective Bob Major OF Ortonyille to
work up the case. The female domestic in
Mr.. Knapp's house was taken into
confidence, and admitted the de-
tective to the house on Friday evening and
again on Wednesday evening. On Friday
evening the detective heard SChuchartt
enter the house, being admitted by Mrs.
Knapp. Before he got to the bed room
from the basement the guilty pair haG
emerged from the room, and he did not de-
tect them at the act. On Wednesday
evening, however, he caught them
in f~agrante deIicto, and threw
the light OF a dark lantern upon them.
S%chuchartt attempted to escape, but Major

sanctity OF a fellow Mason's home.
He then deliberately placed the muzzle of
a loaded shotgun to his mouth, and with

trated by a evere attack Of inlammatory
rheumatism and vas confined to my bed
four months. I was attended by the best
medical skill, but rapidly grew worse until
/ was reduced to q mere skeleton.
The disease had gone to my lungs and to
the region OF my heart and I was finally
given up by the physicians, who said
could live but a few hours atmost, andthat
all they could do was to make me as easy
as possible by killing the pain by frequent
injections Of morphine. | was finally sd-
vised by a friend TO take DR.. Paraae,sRheu
matte Remedy. Upon being asked q to
giving it to me, the physician said Il have
no faith in patent medicines, but give tito
him; it viii not hurt him.
] was then SO near dead that my limbs
were cold below the knees, and a numb
sensation began to creep over my body,
and | suffered with great pain in my chest
and about my heart. After / had taken
the first few doses | experienced more pain
than before, for it seemed to drive thepain
from the vital parts toward the extrem-
titles. / continued to take it according to
directions. Four days after, the phisician

Spring Medicine

Afair, honest trial of Hoods sarsaparilla will con-
vince any reasonable person that this peculiar prepare
ton does possess great medicinal merit. We do not
claim that every bottle win accomplish a miracle, but
wedo know that nearly every bottle, taken according
to directions, does produce positive benefit. This Ii
demonstrated in New England where Hoods sarsapa'
Fila has been known to the people for l0years, and
where its sale is continually increasing.

OUR FiRsTPAeE ILLUSTRATION.

1t goes without assertion that Santa
Claus is the embodiment of all that is good
and generous. And while he showers his
good gifts in such abundance upon the little
folks, he does not forget grown people
either. The poor artist. who has long been
without a commission, besought Santa Claus
to permit him to paint his picture. The
KINDLY old fellow at once consented and no
doubt, as the portrait the artist is making
promises to be q good one, will pay him
handsomely. 1t is to be hoped too that the
artist will at once replenish his wardrobe; /;
at least that he will buy himself some shoes
and socks Of which he stands in special need.
At any rate we trust old Santa's kindness to
him will bring the same merry Christmas to
the knight Of the brush and palette which
we wish our readers to enjoy, not only this
year, but for many, many happy years to
